Mile Howad's May Party.

Mile Howard was to have a May
party and all the little girls in her
neighborhood were siimlppattiently await
ing for the day to come. Miles
Uncle:Alec was going ttoo5carry them to
grove in the country in his large.
th%ree-seated buggy. Atlast the event.
full day arrived and each little girl was.
waiting at the gate with her tiny hand
basket packed with goodies. They
were soon on the way, and such a merry
party, Uncle Alec talking and laughing
as if he were as young as any Of them.
They were enjoying their ride SO much
that they did not notice a great black
cloud gathering in the West until a dis
tant peal of thunder was heard and 4
few great drops splashed down. They
all looked around in dismay for some
shelter and saw nothing but a little
cottage about a half q. mile distant.
Uncle Alec whipped up tho horses, and
they We're oon there, and when they
knocked at the door q feeble voice babe
them "come in" On entering they
found a woman and a little girl lying
on a bed in the farthest corner of the
room. They appeared much surprised
at seeing so many, but smiled and said
nothing. Uncle Alec made inquiries
and found that the lady had lost her
husband some weeks since and was
soon after taken sick and for two days
she and her daughter had had nothing
to eat. Immediately the table was
spread with the contents of the lunch
baskets. a fire was built aud the poor
woman and child were soon made
comfortable. Towards night the storm
abated and the party started for home,
all declaring that it was ono of the hap
piest days they had v g spent.

Mrs Lydia E. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass:
"About the first of September, 1881, my
wife was taken with uterine hemorrhage.
The best styptics the physician could
prescribe did not check it and she got
more and more enfeebled." She was troub-
led with Prolapsus .Uteri, Leucorrhea,
numbness Of the limbs, sickness Of tho
stomach and loss of appetite. I purchased
e trial bottle Of your Vegetable Compound.
SHE SAID SIZE COULD DISCOVER A sALUTARY
EFFECT FROM THE FIRST DOSE Now shctas

Stomach's sickness, &c. The hemorrhage
is very much better and is less at the
regular periods. Her appetite is restored,
and her general health and strength are

been WONDERFULLY BENEFITED and our
hearts are drawn out in gratitude for the
same and in sympathy for other sufferers:

Curious Story.

A curious story comes from England
(says the New York World), through
q private source, that the Baroness
Burdett-C outts has something that no
other woman in the world possesses
three skins. The third skin is made of
silk, and is so exquisitely fine and close
fitting that few people have detected it's
presence. It is said to cover her whole
body from her ankles to her chin; and
they for she has sets of them-are
woven especially for her. They are
fesh-colored, of course, and hide all
wrinkles and ravages of time, with the
natural di]scolorations of the skin that
are the result of age. Where this arti-
fetal skin ends at the throat the Baron
ess YEA a splendid collar of jewels
or a velvet band, and she never takes
off her gloves while in evening dress,
not even to eat her dinner.

AT Richmond.

I was a prisoner in the old tobacco
factory at Richmond in the Fall Of 1861.
and went with 500 others under the in
famous Wirz to Tuscaloosa, Ala. What
l want to call attention to is the differ
ence in the treatment of prisoners in
the beginning compared with what it
was in the last part of the war, as was
again captured at Spottsylvania, May
10. 1864. The prisoners at Tuscaloosa
were fairly we'll treated, as is prove
by the low death rate. We lost but
or two of the number in the whole
time we were there, from November to
February. Compare the death rate
with the same number in Andersonville
or Florence in ga and IS, and it is at
once evident that the difference was
very great. ] T."

given 10 men would exceed that of the

"Well, Doctor" I said, s'you must
admit that you have plenty Of wood,
if nothing else, and ono OF the many
reasons for the condition of this camp
is because our food, such as it is, we
have to eat half cooked, and I have
seen men eat it raw. How long can
you expect lis to live on such fare?"
WELL" was his reply, II see no
reason why there is not all the wood
that is needed, for we have plenty of
that, and I will make a complaint to
the proper officers"
This was all the good it did, for
there was no improvement. The men
continued to go into the mud, dig out
the roots, wash and dry them, after
which, made into small bundles, they
were sold for 10 cents each to help out
the scanty supply that was issued to us;
and this in the midst of boundless
forestry. B. Eastom, Sergeant, Co. E,

Anger.

There is a story IN Count Beust's
memoirs about Prince Bismarck which
deserves to be recalled just now when
the great Chancellor's speech is still
ringing in our ears. "What do you
do" he asked Count Beust, "when you
are angry and grieved? DON'T you
find it a relief to destroy something
when you are angryP"
Il was over there once" he pointed
opposite. to where the Emperor lives,
land I flew into a rage. In going out
I slammed the door and pulled out the
key, which I took with me into Count
Lehndorf's room, close by, and threw
it into the basin, which went into a
thousand pieces. Count Lehndorf
asked: Are you ill?' I was. That

Our Government makes a
most contemplate spectacle OF it's
self by leaving unpaid month after
month faithful officers who have
honestly earned their salaries.
There are men here who have bills
which were allowed two years ago,
but they can get no pay. In sun

count Of the disappointment and

sioners OF Emigration because
they could get no pay; the same
thing attaches to every Marshal,

partrnent where the law does not
make it imperative to pay liked
salaries. This is done. too, with
the Treasury over flowing, and the
whole administrative branch ratified
on the subject of what to do with

ter is the more provoking because
there is nothing made by the plan

CE.EyEE.AND SPLITS THE
SOUTH.

The i'll luck that has so often be-
fallen the Democratic party, is again
playing its unwelcome pranks just
at time when the party is the least
prepared to counteract its EVIL in
fluence.
A month ago the Democracy,
flushed with the prospective success
of the campaign of 1888, was ar
ranging matters for next Fall. The
calculation was not directed specially
to the insuring of the victory, that
was considered already settled, the
question of dividing the spolls alone
occupied consideration.
Then came Cleveland's message.
No such bomb shell ever fell into
the ranks of the Democracy as that
lugubrious document.
1t skaters the Solid South.
Cleveland seems to be man entire
" bound up in self. He has trav-
eled very little over the country he
governs and has read but little OF
it's resources or advancements. lie
seems to have written his message
under the impression that Protec-
ton was purely Republican insti-
tuition indigenous to Republican
manufacturing States, and that
nothing was manufactured South OF
Mason & Dixon line which needed
immunity from competition with
foreign manufacture.
He overlooks the fact that within
the last few years the New South
has made rapid advancement in the
mechanic arts and its natural pro-
ducts have enormously increased.
The South just now realizes the
fact that it needs protection to its
industries more than it needs
Democratic Free Trade President.
The South is beginning to under
stand the benefits OF Republican
Protective tariff and has OF late
been able to place itself in posi-
ton where it can derive great adj
vantage from it.
1t would be folly to assume that
the South after realizing what adj
vancement 1t has made under
Protective tariff would in the midst
of its prosperity wish to 60 back to
the old order of things and see Its
industries as badly crippled by the
invasion Of foreign product as when
Sherman's army marched through
Georgia. The South will not cling
to the doctrines of a party that
would grow grass in the streets OF
manufacturing towns and silence
the whiz and whirr OF its machin-
cry.
Cleveland may be just the man
for New York which has little or no
manufacturing interests but is SIM
ply a money sweating stock manip-
ulating State which thrIves off oil
English Exchange and has bartered
away all its patriotism long ago Tor
British gold.
The South is broken as far as a
political unity goes and the better
informed Democrats of the country
fully realize it.
